Fuel Saving Tips

Oil prices continue to soar out of control, should certainly make us more careful in using the fuel. Without having to modify the existing configuration on your vehicle's engine, actually means, how to drive has been able to contribute a significant impact in saving fuel. Here are some tips that you can refer to:

"Do not drive your car too fast. Drive, as if there were an egg between your foot and your gas pedal," said John H. Davis, host of PBS MotorWeek. 


According to him, no matter if you break the shell, but you do not squash it. By watching the speed limit and avoid the spur and the car brakes suddenly, you can increase five percent in the lane mileage and up to 33 percent on major highways.

Then, reduce the burden of your car. Extra load of 45 pounds can reduce mileage by two percent. In other words, you can save hundreds of thousands per year simply by freeing up your car from the goods that are not needed.

Do not let the car is turned on to stop too long. Turn off your car engine to reduce gas consumption. Avoid streets jam-prone.

Well-maintained machine, it will consume fuel efficiently. In addition, replacing a clogged air filter can improve mileage by ten percent. Do not add additional materials that are chemical fuel mix trends that claim to boost mileage. They are not worth buying, and can even damage your engine.


Use the correct oil in the car. If oil is too thick, your engine will work harder, which means requiring more fuel. If too watery, you will not get the protection needed. Complying to the type of oil is recommended the user to maximize fuel efficiency.


Treat your tires. Make sure the tires pumped according to the recommended pressure. A flat tire requires more fuel, but excessive pumping will mess up your car control.


If you have two cars, use cars with better mileage. If you have been through 20,113 miles per year, replace half of your trip from the car which is 32 kilometers per 4 liters to the car one more that 48 per 4 liters.
Another simple thing you can also do is to plan a trip wire. That is, all paths to be traversed has been selected with due regard to the pattern of congestion in certain areas. Starting from an alternative route, up to the peak hours where the bottlenecks were usually peaked. Good luck ...
